Canyonlands National Park is a national park of the United States located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab.The park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into numerous canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries.
The watershed of the river, known as the Green River Basin, covers parts of the U.S. states of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. The Green River is 730 miles (1,170 km) long, beginning in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming and flowing through Wyoming and Utah for most of its course, except for a short segment of 40 miles (64 km) in western Colorado.
The Green River, a tributary of the Colorado River, originates in Wyoming, where it flows 291 miles (468 km) before entering the state of Utah. It runs for 42 miles (68 km) in Colorado, and once journeying into Utah, runs another 397 miles (639 km). The confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers is in Canyonlands National Park. [2]
Brown's Park or Browns Park, originally called Brown's Hole, is an isolated mountain valley along the Green River in Moffat County, Colorado and Daggett County, Utah in the United States. [1] The valley begins in far eastern Utah, approximately 25 miles (40 km) downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam , and follows the river downstream into Colorado ...
The canyon begins at Bonita Bend [2] in the central part of the National Park. From its head, the canyon follows the meanders of the Green River, immediately west of the White Rim (cliff), [3] in a southerly direction until the canyon reaches the mouth of both itself and the Green River at the river's confluence with the Colorado River in the southeastern area of the National Park.
(The Green River continues flowing south through Gray Canyon.) Desolation Canyon is situated between the West Tavaputs Plateau on the west and the East Tavaputs Plateau on the east. At its deepest point, a relief of over 5,000 feet (1,500 m) exists from river level to the unseen rim of the Tavaputs Plateau. [5]
(Indeed, John Wesley Powell said the Green was the "master stream" where it and the Colorado River came together.) The Bear and Weber rivers, the two largest tributaries of Great Salt Lake, are born on the west slope of the range. The Provo River, the largest tributary to Utah Lake, begins on the southern side of the range and flows west to ...
